It all starts in Sprout Up Farms Aquaponics system where the fish are fed a steady healthy diet of organic food. The food leftovers and fish waste are transferred into the biological and mineralization filters where beneficial bacteria convert it to Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium, Iron, Calcium, and other nutrients necessary for plants to grow and develop.
Our plants are grown from organic seeds in a controlled environment which are monitored 24/7 to achieve a maximum yield. A controlled environment helps maintain the optimum light cycle, ideal PH parameters, balanced humidity, and temperature year-round. This produces healthy plants that thrive without the use of fertilizer or pesticides.
Solids are removed from the biofilter and mineralization filter and fed to an anaerobic digester along with the leftovers from harvesting (roots, leaves and plants that do not meet Sprout Up Farms quality control). The fermentation process further enhances mineralization of nutrients creating a nutrient rich organic fertilizer and methane gas. Part of the liquid nutrient rich solution is added to the plant?s reservoir, the rest is sold as organic fertilizer. The methane gas is used to produce clean electricity offsetting Sprout Up Farms carbon footprint by not releasing it to the atmosphere.
